I went into town this evening with Sarah to meet up with some Flickr folk. As we drove into town we could see a massive plume of smoke over the city. We originally thought it was the United ground then maybe the station but it turned out to be the nightclub Gatecrasher. It was totally gutted and it eventually part of it collapsed. We couldn't get too close as there was a police line. We then went on to meet up with some flickr people including Knautia who was up from Bristol.She had us jumping in the Peace Gardens we got some funny looks but I don't think any of us cared and it was fun

Day to myself

I was really tired today, a tough week at work, I'm sure I have put in at least 45 hours!

Today I had a much needed lie-in then decided to wander down to the Heeley Fair to see what was going on, I've not been before but it was a little uninspiring. There were some interesting stalls. This one selling beautiful belts.The dancing Chinese Dragon was also worth seeing.

Chance to Dance! June 9th

A wander around town today, it was the Chance to Dance event were lots of different types of dance groups encourage people to join in. There was a great atmosphere in the Peace gardens; to echo the local Bollywood award presentation there was a mass bangra dance lead by a very enthusiastic lady in a stunning pink outfit
As Sarah and I wandered back though town we paused near the Lyceum Theatre and watched people arriving to a production of The Rocky Horror show, there were some great outfits!

A day out in Manchester today. I havn't been there for years but I am reading Stuart Maconies book Pies and Prejudice at the moment which made me want to go and explore. It was great just wandering around, looking exploring and taking photographs.
